Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Child support/Visitation/Custody
I've been paying $123 a week on child support for my son, now my ex wife for years has demanded $120 a month aside from my weekly obligations claiming it's for healthcare. I've obliged by this for years because I never wanted anything to get between my son and I. I recently stopped paying this extra cash because I want to know wether my child support payments covers all aspects of child care which I presume, if not, can some one elaborate please? because she is not letting me pick up my son even though I satisfy my weekly support payments as I feel she is just interested in cash and not the feelings of our son or the relationship we have. Also at what age can a child determine which parent he wants to live with? given that my son is 14 years old and badly wants to live with me, thank you.

Re: Child support/Visitation/Custody
You should really sit down with an attorney and work all of this out. Sounds like you should file a custody motion. That would solve all of your problems.

Re: Child support/Visitation/Custody
It sounds like it is time for you to go back to Court to get some clarification. You need to file for both a modification of support as well as a modification of custody.
By the way, her actions in not letting you see your son may be found to be contempt of court and would then subject her to penalties....
